mxf to fcp

I am working on a G5 dual 2G machine running 10.5.8, fcp 6.0.6. I was given a drive that has footage on it that I need to edit with. I did not get the footage from the camera to the drive, someone else did. I have searched for advice, and have tried "video converter" and calibrated and I can't figure out what I'm doing. I've tried log and transfer and it doesn't recognize the files at all.

Can someone please guide me?

Where did they come from and what sort of folder directory do you have?

Go here:calibrated software

email the developer (it's one guy) and he'll get back to you -- it's a great program that lets you edit and access MFX files natively in final cut or Quicktime without having to convert them.

You likely have audio and video files mixed in there and you will have to combine the clips in Final Cut Browser

sort them by timecode and they will come up as video and Aiff files (likely) with same starting TC. Select the starting timecode pieces that match and pull down under I think it's MODIFY menu and chose merge clips -- you then get one editable audio video file that works just like a regular .mov file in Final Cut

Good luck - Best Andy
